MusicMan, I stole your picture idea with the hopes of making it easier to see. The red arrow points to the instance of 3 in 1, with the green arrows pointing to 4 in 1. To me it appears to just be maillers mistake or a ring that has slipped out of place, as I can only see one instance of 3 in 1.

First; Nice work and good Idea MM
I don't think that the 3-1 Ring igoes through 3, but 4... if you look closly, the there is a fourth one - actually the one beneath the one the last green arrow points at.
I made a pic and marked the four rings with a red dot - I hope the editing makes it clearer.

But I have to admit that the Ring looks a bit odd, but only because he is out of place - he shouldn't be twisted like that. The Weave isn't tight, so rings move around and don't always stay perfect.

Yeah, I totally. I think it's just the rings going where the want and the quality of the image that's making some people think it's only going through 3. Great job editing the image by the way, it really helps.

Not that it's worth arguing about... but the top red dot ring does not appear to be going through that ring. I think for the most part, that is a Spiral 4 in 1 necklace with some mistakes in the weaving.
